I to rarely post on this thing. I don't have a dog in this hunt/fight. However, this entire thing just disgusts me. What may happen to my friends and the other good folks @ both Frontier and Midwest. All the blood, sweat and tears they put in to get to where they are/were. And now to almost helplessly watch it be decimated by greed and to have others salivate over it makes me sad. No one is to know what may have happened to either company without the Republic thing. Only time would have told. But this sets a terrible precedent for the industry and the profession. Happy Hump Day all. Take care and KEEP SMILING!!

The fact that we are even having this discussion makes me sick. When a commuter pilot in his twenties and a mainline pilot with loads of experience will have to argue over seniority the unthinkable has happened. Two career airlines are about to be swallowed up by a bottom feeder! Who's next? Most pilots at f9 and yx have already been there done that, and now are apparently going back to do it again. Guys and girls, my heart goes out to ya. Hopefully a white knight comes in before you fine folks have to take a MAJOR step backwards. Lord knows you ALREADY have paid your dues and deserve better than to join ranks with the new cancer of the industry.
